NEAR FM 90.3

Near Media Co-op is a democratic not-for-profit media co-operative which uses media as a tool for community development.  The Co-op was founded in 1982 and has more than 120 regular volunteers. We produce development education and drama programming. We also offer a wide variety of specialist music programmes from jazz to classical to ska. We believe that access to media production comes with responsibilities. All our volunteers receive induction training, which includes a basic introduction to media literacy. We have been involved in several European projects that have focused on the development of training resources that are then used by our own trainers and that we share with others.
